Now, you see. That's why people don't like Americans. It's a global site, with a global audience but poster assumes a US centric approach ("our 51st state")...

Which other country in the world would be asking the question? Anyone from any country can reply whether we should do it.

True. Europeans have the advantage there. The U.S. is huge and borders only two countries. It's easy to remain culturally isolated.

That was Euro-centric of me. What about Asia, Africa, and S. America?

"Which other country in the world would be asking the question? Anyone from any country can reply whether we should do it."

You have to bare in mind that most other countries don't care whether Puerto Rico should be allowed to become your 51st State. Its like me asking whether in South East England, do you think Rother council should increase taxes 0.01%. Nobody would care.

Do the people of Puerto Rico want to join the US?

thats just what i was thinking Sacred.

Previous chances for them joining the Union have all been categorically turned down after public referendums, so in answer to your question: no, probably not.
